Letra de Better Than The Truth - Patterson Hood

Billy Ringo always said
That fish don't bite
You get a break to save my life
You get a break for all my life

Fell out the window
With the glass bong in his hand
On the ground he didn't land
On his back with the smoking in his hand

Billy Ringo said
He nearly crashed his car
On the winding roads not far
From the house he used to live in

Said he fell in the ties
Living off the baby
But he pulled it out in time
And then made it home by five

And he said I'm only looking
For the second above level
A bullshit I can live with
Some things gotta give

And I never could stand
That son of a bitch there in the mirror
Starring back at me
Starring back at me

Billy Ringo liked
To play his music loud
Said he never was allowed
To become the things
He said that he was

Destined for the nights
Drinking at the bar

Talking about a shining star
And impended enclave

He said I'm only looking
For the second above level
A bullshit I can live with
Some things gotta give

And if I wrote it in a movie
It will all be differently
And would be better than the truth
Better than the truth

And last time I saw Billy
He was drinking at the bad
We went out and made
Some small talk, he invited me over

And he started giving me
All the paintings on his wall
Said he wanted me to have them
But he wouldn't say what for

And if I wrote it in a movie
It would end there on the ground
Like I said there in the first verse
That's how he would be found

I would spare the movie goers
All the bitter sad details
Better than the truth

I would spare the movie goers
All the bitter sad details
Better than the truth
